Abstract
A two-coupled mesoscopic single-junction light-emitting diode (LED) system is proposed to generate heralded twin-photons with a strong positive correl ation, which have different energies. Monte-Carlo simulations demonstrate t hat the two photons an generated per modulation cycle with a regulated time interval due to the Coulomb blockade and quantum confinement effects, when the two-coupled LED system is driven by an alternating voltage source.
